For backpackers or budget travelers not booked with a group, an easy way to see the city is to take the Special Tourist buses with special routes designed to cover almost all the key city tourist spots. In all the Three Towns in the city, buses with the initial number of 4 are special tourist line buses.

We recommend No. 401 and No. 402 buses, as they cover most of the famous attractions in the city. No. 401 will take you to Yellow Crane Tower, East Lake, Heptachord Terrace (Guqin Tai) and Guiyuan Buddhist Temple (Temple of Original Purity). If you are interested in the provincial museum, take No. 402. An all-day ticket costs CNY5 and the basic ticket is CNY2.

Take metro line 2 at the airport to Guanggu Avenue, walk eastward to take bus no. 513 to Qingwang Rd. & West Gate Shimen Peak (青王路石门峰西门), then walk southward for 50 meters and then turn left, walk for 500 meters to find the entrance.

Xia Lu Qu, also Xia Lu District in Huang Shi City is about 90 kilometers from the park. It is advised to take a taxi to Exit A of Hukou Metro Station and take a Wuhan - Huangshi direct bus to Huangshi Transportation Hub. After, take bus no. 29 there to Xua Lu District.

You can take a bullet train from Wuhan to Xianning first and then take a taxi to Liujiaqiao Village. The taxi fare would be around CNY 80-100 for a single trip. It is said there is also a bus from Xianning Bus Terminal to Tongshan which will pass Liujiaqiao but it is hard to find the bus schedule.

You can take bus/subway/taxi since the transportation is very convenient. Would you mind providing the address in downtown area? Then I can find the detailed public transportation for you.

1. To yellow crane: You can take metro line 3 from Dongfeng Company Station to Wangjiawan Station, and transfer to metro line 4 to Shouyi Road Station (Exit D3), then walk north of 1km to it. It takes around 1 hour with CNY6.
To Han street: You can take metro line 3 from Dongfeng Company Station to Wangjiawan Station, and transfer to metro line 4 to Chuhe Hanjie Station (Exit B), and walk north of 400m to it. It takes around 1 hour with CNY6.
2. To North Guangzhou station: It is impossible to take taxi. You should take high speed train. But there is only one train at 11:50 to North Guangzhou. So you better take high speed train to South Guangzhou Railway Station. You can choose CNY463.5 or CNY738.5 seat.
